throughout the length of the tie, by means ol' dilierenl eolored threadsstripes 3 are lornml, whieh are diagzjonally lo ftliifid cross- Wise ol'the tie. and these stripes are located on a true bias.

ln knitting this improved tie, the tie is started with a it beingstarted tor instance at the end 4, and by gradually throwing out oil.operation eertain needles or stitches on one side it is knitted with oneedge, as 5, st night and the other, as 6, tapered, (see Fig. 2), so asto give a gradually widened flaring effect to the end when the tie isproperly made; as at i'i this taper continuing until the neekhandportion 3 is reaehed, both edges 9 of whieh are knitted straight. Inother Words, when the tie is started for instance at the width-ll motionof the end l. certain needles are gradually thrown out of operation onone side as for instance the side (3, thereby resulting in a graduallywidening flaring eli'eeh while the other side remains straight until.the nerlchand is rmiehed, when both side; are so knitted that the edgeswill be naralleh and then to lorm the other gradually widened or flaredend 10 certain needles on one side are gradually thrown into opernlioinwhereby the widened flaring end is gradually obtained, until the wideportion ll of the lie is knitted. ,\il(l01'lilill intervals in the tiedill'erent colored threads are shot Ebert-into to term the diagonalstripes. "lllese HillptS are obtained by shooting into llie lie atintervals thr ads of another color or rotors. the lie and the stripesbeing knitted on the bias this being obtained by.

raeldn'o; or jogging one, as for instance the rear, needle bed duringthe knitting- 0f the lie in a peeuliar manner. When ordinary stripes are:liorzned the needle bed is racked alternately in opposite directions.At the same time the worli is maintained under a dill'erential tensionso that greater tension wi ll be given to the tie along one side thereofthan along the other so as to prevent the stitelies or loops at one sidefrom interfering with one another by reason of their loosen'ess, thegreatest tension being given on that side where the loops wouldotherwise eertain width in the machine,

barred, as at 13, in the mannci overedging maylikewise he done he'looseand thus prevent the loops from backing up on the needles andinterfering withth e operation Oi one machine. Thus, "While during theknitting the stripes are apparently located in parallelism andhorizontally across the work, yet when the worl-z is removed from themachine the stripes are found to be on a true bias, and this without thenecessity of stretching the tie out of shape, so that there is notendency of the tie after it is finished to curl or assume any otherposition than its proper normal one, and in which all of the threadsare. of substantially the same tightness or looseness.

By the'process described we are able to provide not only a knittedneclttiehaving true or substantially tine bias stripes therein, but weare able to provide a hias l Ii1ltiT8 necktie, that is a necktie inwhich. th stitches or needle loops run on the bias iron: end to end,with a bias strips or stiq'aes therein of a different or contrast ngcolor or colors or shades of color. The when knitted in the mannerdescribed, is then formed up so that one straight edge an inclined edge,as 5 and 6, will he broil together, whereupon the same are sen co.-miflllg their edges, and Where the straigh the flaring edge separate, asat shown in Fig. 2. Prior to the sewing, however, each end of the tie iscut and overedg'ed' to a shaped end which in the present ii is shown asof .a triangular shape ferent colored threads correspondin the body ofthe tie. When the tie is made up in the manner shown one edge, as 15,will be substantially straight while the oppo- 40 site edge, as 16, willbe of tapered form, and

that the tie has a pair of gradually w u v o V 1 tr angular port1onwhich is oil hillCnist-ripes being located on a substantially biasduring the knitting of the tie witllon .1 same tightness or loosen-erethis straight edge may he on the outside or the inside. In the presentinstance straight edge is shown on the inside, the edges 5 and 6-,however, being so if. pod ien ing flaring ends of considerably greaterWidth than the neck portion.

It will be observed that the present improved tie has its endsterminating a ness or fold.

The present improved tie may have ei a plain or'iridescent effect withthe therein of a diilerent color or colors,

the necessity of stretching or cutting the after 1t 18 made to give thisresult, in

the present t1e all oi. the threads of the i three tie.
